Move Over Mini-ITX, Here Comes The gigaQube

Posted by timothy on from the product-before-its-time dept.

Jim Ethanol writes "Since there's been a lot of interest lately in Mini ITX based servers I thought the Slashdot crowd might enjoy checking out Project gigaQube. The gigaQube is a modified Cobalt Qube 2 server appliance with 240 Gigabytes of storage running NetBSD's Mips R5000 based Cobalt port. Cobalt Qube's are quiet, cool looking little (7.25 x 7.25 x 7.75 inch) servers that when modified, make a powerful home server solution. They also seem to have achieved 'fetish' status in Japan. See some gigaQube action shots here, or check its vitals here."

    Upgraded Apple G4 Cube

    Qube is nice, but OS X is nicer. Plus, at 1.2GHz, this will kick the crap out of the Qube.

  2. Mail server? Web Server? by Punchinello · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Pardon my ignorance, but is there SMTP server software you can run on top of the NetBSD Mips R5000 server software? How about a web server? That would truly make a nifty little home server appliance.

    The guy added a hard drive to his Qube, and
    you call that a story? I guess it's newsworthy
    because he's not running Linux on it.

    & what dispositions are to be considered for the felonious payper liesense softwar gangsters as they are rendered invalid, & more&more of their phonIE stock markup scams are known? maybe they'll 'release' linus, & put fuddles et ALL, in prison.

    then, let's say fuddles IS the greed/fear/ego based massturdmined softwar gangster bankrolling the phonIE ?pr? ?firm? scriptdead attacks on the hobbyist dogooders. can we say fud wants more, has a conscience deficit, & no regard for the public/his hostages? we could easily say that.

    talk about fauxking wags?

    nothing gnu about this phonIE ?pr? ?firm? softwar gangster scriptdead crud:
